Wire and component test using
VAG1598/31 test box


Notes:

VAG1598/31 test box is designed so that it can
be simultaneously connected to the wiring
harness at the Engine Control Module (ECM)
and also to the ECM itself.
This is advantageous because electronic
engine control remains fully functional (e.g.
measurement of signals with engine running)
when the test box is attached.
Relevant test procedures note whether Engine
Control Module (ECM) should also be
connected to the test box or not.
Always use VAG1594A connector test kit to
attach measurement devices (e.g. VAG1527B
voltage tester, VAG1526 multimeter etc.).

CAUTION!

To reduce the risk of damaging electronic
components, set the tester to the approprate
test range and observe test requirements
before connecting test leads.

Important note:
After re-connecting the Engine Control Module (ECM), the following work
steps must be performed:
- Check DTC memory and erase it if necessary Page 01
-15
.
- Perform adaptation of the Throttle Valve Control Module -J338- Page
24
-142
.
Note:
In the first adaptation phase during engine basic setting, it is possible that
idle will be rough and vehicle may shake lightly in drive mode. - Connect VAG1598/31 test box to connector of wiring harness. Ground
(GND) clip at test box (not visible in illustration) must be connected to
Ground (GND). Relevant test procedures note whether Engine Control
Module (ECM) should also be connected to the test box.
- Perform test as described in relevant repair sequence.

Test requirement:

Fuel pressure OK, checking Page 24

.

Test sequence

- Remove fuel distributor including fuel injectors
from intake manifold Page 24
-43
. Fuel lines
remain connected.

- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness
to ECM, do not connect ECM Page 24
-17
.

- Bridge terminals 1 and 65 at test box using
adapter cables from VAG1594A connector test
kit (this step supplies Ground -GND- to one side
of relay coil for Fuel Pump -FP- relay).

Note:
Fuel Pump (FP) relay is supplied with B+ via the
central electric (terminal 30). Fuel Pump (FP)
relay receives minus via the cable bridge in test
box. The Fuel Pump (FP) is now running
constantly.

B - If relay triggers, but Fuel Pump (FP) does not
run:

- Check voltage supply for Fuel Pump (FP) and
components (via Fuel Pump -FP- relay) Page

.

Check voltage supply of Fuel Pump (FP)
relay

- Remove Fuel Pump (FP) relay.

If specified value is not obtained:
Checking activation of Fuel Pump (FP) relay - Connect multimeter to terminal 17 of relay socket and Ground (GND)
for voltage measurement.

Specification: approx. battery voltage
- Replace central electrics.
- Switch ignition off.
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to ECM, do not
connect ECM Page 24
